The Substance
Coralie Fargeat's daring satire examines the demanding standards for women's appearance and the feared consequences of growing older. The veteran actress delivers a masterful acting turn as Elisabeth, a 50-year-old actress forced into hosting a workout series on television. Pushed out due to her deceitful superior Harvey, played by Dennis Quaid, she turns to a secretive and terrifying treatment called this experimental method. This creates a youthful duplicate portrayed by Margaret Qualley, resulting in an increasingly vampiric relationship among both women. This Friday, Paramount+
The Woman in Cabin 10 Film
This suspenseful mystery stars the talented actress in the role of Laura, an ace reporter who decides to take some time off from reporting on world issues to board an opulent ship with a gravely sick wealthy inheritor and donor, her partner, as well as other affluent individuals. However when an unknown lady goes overboard during the evening and all passengers claims she was never there, the reporter's sleuthing skills take over. Available now, on Netflix
Presence Film
The acclaimed director pushes his creative boundaries in this nifty supernatural story shot entirely through the eyes of the phantom. As a family including mother Rebekah and troubled teenage daughter Chloe occupies their recent residence, the filming device – as the unseen entity – shadows their actions. Chloe seems conscious of the supernatural presence, and it seems defensive toward her. But why? The premise is enjoyable that avoids overstaying, with a twist that may be unexpected. Saturday 11 October, multiple showings, Sky Cinema
Nicolas Cage's Meta Comedy
Nicolas Cage fully commits to his eccentric image in this autobiographical spoof. He portrays a self-obsessed film star called Nicolas Cage who agrees to a lucrative offer to attend a birthday party in Mallorca for the rich superfan Javi. Hired by government spies to spy on the suspected cartel boss, the actor's “nouveau shamanic acting ability” proves useful. October 11th, prime time, on Channel 4
This Creepy Thriller
The director's contained scarefest holds up well even without a sequel. Taking place in 1970s Colorado, several child abductions has left the youth on edge. When Finney gets captured by the villain and held captive in a dungeon, he anticipates a terrible outcome. However, the disconnected phone mounted nearby repeatedly calls, with ghostly voices providing assistance, as the intuitive nightmares of his sister Gwen could save him. A genuinely scary movie. October 11th, 10.50pm, Film4
The Tammy Faye Biopic
In the struggle between spirituality and money, the victory is clear for materialism in Michael Showalter's wonderfully garish true story regarding the shamed televangelist and her felon spouse. The actor acts as the corrupt Bakker, who states at the beginning, asserting religious justification for riches. Both individuals commence profiting from the nation's spiritual convictions. It's an extravaganza of poor styling, bad makeup and hypocrisy, though Jessica Chastain achieves to depict Tammy Faye as a sympathetic figure. Next Tuesday, late night, on Film4
The Spy Mystery
This week's another release by the same director is a espionage tale as sharp like the turtlenecks used by Fassbender's UK spy. His assignment is to identify a double agent inside the organization from five suspects – among them is his spouse. Both actors are experts of deadpan cool, leading to a delightful psychological game of fact versus fiction unfolds. Tom Burke, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris and Marisa Abela participate the intelligent intelligence fun. This Friday, multiple time slots, Sky Cinema Premiere
